Lung cancer is a major public health problem both because of the prognosis and of how widespread it is. About 30,000 new cases are diagnosed in France every year.
Progress in understanding the disease often comes in the form of a number of tiny steps in areas whose boundaries are not clearly defined.
It may appear that no progress is being made... and yet changes are happening. The very nature of lung cancer is changing, with a worrying increase in the incidence among non-smokers, especially women, a rise in the number of adenocarcinomas and greater prevalence among elderly people.
Many scientific research projects are devoted to lung cancer every year, covering a large number of areas such as epidemiology, prevention, screening, diagnosis, classification, prognosis, biology and treatment. Such a profusion of projects makes it difficult for doctors to keep their knowledge up to date, which is why this book will be particularly useful.
Acknowledged experts in the various disciplines provide simple landmarks for a subject that is constantly changing, particularly in the area of treatment, offering doctors a concise update.
